Top five reasons why Blades of Glory is better than Talladega Nights

by Liz

1. I may have laughed louder at Talladega Nights, but I laughed far longer at Blades of Glory. Eat that, Ricky Bobby!

2. Amy Poehler and Will Arnett as the semi-incestuous brother-sister pair everybody recognizes except the international skating community.

3. Excellent use of actual figure skaters in various stages of embarrassing decline

4. Jon Heder’s hair: the perfect feathered fluff, a la Farrah. Golden, glowing, and mesmerizing.

5. Chazz: We’re gonna dance to one song, and one song only: “Lady Humps” by the Blackeyed Peas. “What you gonna do with all that junk, all that junk inside your trunk? I’m a get you, get you drunk, get you drunk off my lady humps, my humps, my humps, my lovely lady humps.
Jimmy: [disgusted] I’m not skating to anything with references to lady humps. I don’t even know what that means.
Chazz: No one knows what it means. It’s provocative.

    Who are the real skaters in it?

    Not that you know her, but would my mom like it? (I guess that’s sort of metaphysical. What I mean is, is it nice and silly or mean and silly?)
